Eisteddfod 🎶

And that's a wrap....Week 4.

Our week finished with our fortnightly assembly, where we celebrated our students and their achievements. Best of luck next week to our students who are participating in the Eisteddfod and Diocesan Athletics carnival.

Olympian Visit!

Year 4 were lucky enough to have Mrs Nikita Williams (Cuffe) visit the classroom. Nikita is a former Australian Women's Water Polo Olympian! The students got to try on her Olympic robe and Swimwear, but most of all have a look and feel of her Bronze Medal which was won at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Didge Group Mondays!

Each Monday we have Mr Chris Dove from Chris Dove Music come and run a Didgeridoo Group with some of our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. The kids give up their lunch times to enjoy these sessions, and as you can see are well attended!

School Performance - Young Mary

Much laughter was had in the hall for this performance! A great show celebrating Saint Mary Mackillop in her younger years. Remembering Mary's words "Never see a need without trying to do something about it.”

Congratulations to our Percussion and Instrumental Groups at the Bathurst Eisteddfod today. Both groups of students coming away with 1st Placings! Thankyou Miss Paula for preparing them so well.

School Performance Tours - Wadjini

Students were treated to a performance by Troy Allen who combines dance, story-telling and music sharing Indigenous Australian culture. A great interactive show for our school community!

Well done to our Year 5 students hosting the Mary of the Cross Liturgy earlier this morning. A lovely liturgy with some great acting!

Congratulations to all our students who represented Holy Family at the Eastern Region Athletics Carnival today. It was an amazing day of grit, determination and good sportsmanship. A special thank you to all the officials, team managers and a special thank you to St Joseph's Oberon who coordinateted the day, and MacKillop College - Bathurst for hosting us.

This term we have welcomed back Mr Jordan Boney to Holy Family who runs some amazing workshops with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. We look forward to more workshops this term!

Thank you to Stannies for hosting our Year 3 Students for their Eucharist Retreat Day in Week 2!

Last week some of our budding Year 6 artists attended an Art Workshop at St Philomena's. Students participated in various activities that will assist them with their Christmas Story Art and Storytelling entry for the 2024 Competition.

TERM 3- WEEK 2 ASSEMBLY:

Thank you to all who gathered to support our students and their achievements over the last two weeks.

Congratulations to those who received awards, including our four Year 6 students who gained a Distinction in the recent Diocesan Religious Education Test. What an amazing achievement!

Today we wore our favourite Jersey in support of Brax who is competing in the NSWPSSA Rugby League competition. His family is off to Canberra tomorrow to begin the quest for NSW being number one!

Today, our Year Three students had Jersey Day as they will be away tomorrow at a Eucharist Retreat. Pictured here is our Rugby League Superstar, whom we are supporting at the School Sports Australia Tournament, where he will play for NSW. Don't forget, all other year groups are to wear their favourite jersey tomorrow and bring a gold coin donation!

This Friday, 2nd August! Get your favourite Jersey on with your uniform! Any sporting code, we look forward to seeing all the supporters on Friday!

Our AFL superstars have won the grand final at the Paul Kelly Cup in Blacktown.

The girls demonstrated skill, sportsmanship and amazing resilience to win the grand final 25-0!

The Holy Family community are very proud of you girls!

Special shout out to Charli for being chosen as best on ground!

We’re in the GF!
